    As it implies, you owned a school and you're THE principle (yes, you!) and also a teacher but you have to come up with a total of 3 nonexistent classes. These 3 nonexistent classes must not be publicly or privately "real" classes and are not supposed be official [Math, Biology, Chemistry, Art, etc.], but they can be made up by you in a creative way; make sure to give a brief intro of each made-up class. Also, they can be a public or private school.

    For example, in my made-up public school, I would be teaching (1/3) "Chocolate Skydiving." This class is about skydiving to a huge pool full of chocolate pudding.
    (2/3) "Underground Carpentry." This class teaches the fundamentals of carpentry taught underground (watch out for falling rocks!)
    (3/3) "Financial Fitness." This class teaches about your body health by exercising with equipment made out of real money.
     
    Probably something like Pet Care and Basic Law, as well as Internet Awareness. The last one would really be a short but crucial course, while the first two would be more substantial. I studied law (at uni level) for a year and felt like whoa everybody should have learned this. Not sure the other two needs intro.
     
    My three classes would be "Mental Health and Wellbeing", "Life Skills", and "Financial Planning". Three things that are in my opinion essential but are completely ignored by schools (or were when I went to school) that really need some attention. I would have loved to have had some techniques to keep my mental health from disintegrating when I was a teenager, at no point in any way, shape, or form does any educational system prepare you for life outside of it, and whilst nobody would want to do the last one, they'd be thankful for those tediously boring hours once they left school. Budgeting is not just a business skill and should not be treated as such.


    If I could get away with combining the latter two into one then the third class I'd want to teach would be "Common Courtesy and Good Manners". Two things that many people seem to lack completely.

    Especially with so many people online basing their whole identity on fictional anime characters and calling it "kin"

    So yeah, I agree 100%

    Honestly, that first one should have been a part of Health classes for a long time and to the best of my knowledge, still isn't a part of most curriculum.
     
    Tax Preparation and Basic Car Repair for "practical" courses. History of Choice Hotels and Quality Inn as an elective, "no other school in the world offers this class" course.
     
    Honestly, I would have more classes for nurses and doctors. Ones that would help them understand disabilities more. If I had a nickel for every time a nurse or doctor discriminated me for not being what they call "as disabled as others", I'd be rich. It's so hard to get the right kind of help when you have anxiety for some god forsaken reason. I actually had a meltdown once because I'm deathly afraid of IVs & needles. So, the nurse had the gall to say "but she can communicate". Like, dude... lady... not all autistics are nonverbal. Come on. That's one of the reasons I can't stand hospitals because they don't seem to understand the hardships of fear for some disabilities at them.

    So yeah.
